Books
The echoes of the past resound clearly in the palaces and monuments of Rome, and in the remains of the ancient imperial city. But another presence has dominated Rome for 2000 years - the pope, whose actions and influence echo down the ages. In this epic tale, historian Jessica Wärnberg tells the story of Rome through the lens of its popes, illuminating how these remarkable (and unremarkable) men have transformed lives and played a crucial role in deciding the fate of the city.
